National Strawberry Month Recipe Roundup

As the weather warms up, grocery store shelves will begin to fill up with fresh strawberries as the versatile fruit is in season late April through August. Tiny, yet mighty, the bright red fruit is packed with the benefits of vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants, just to name a few. Contrary to popular belief, strawberries aren’t actually berries but rather a member of the rose family.

Bookmark these recipes as your calendar fills up with summer picnics and barbecues because these fruity eats will for sure be crowd-pleasers.
